Icicles, which helped launch the Bay Area’s Thai rolled ice cream phenomenon with its opening in San Jose’s Willow Glen two years ago — and yes, the lines still are long there! — will open a Berkeley location Saturday on University Avenue.

It’s the 10th shop in NorCal to open in just two years. Other locations can be found in Newark, Cupertino, Pleasanton, San Mateo, Mountain View, Gilroy, San Francisco and Sacramento,

Popularized by Thailand’s street vendors, rolled ice cream is made from scratch for each customer — making this part food craze, part performance theater. (That’s where Instagram comes in.) Cream and flavorings are poured onto a super-cold pan, then the liquid is scraped and chopped, chopped, chopped — picture a Benihana chef in an icy environment — until it solidifies just enough to be spread out, wafer-thin, onto the whole sheet. Then it’s scraped into rolls 2 or 3 inches long and those rolls are carefully placed, end up, in an ice cream cup.

Icicles co-owner Lit Leong became intrigued with rolled ice cream on his travels abroad. “We figured, why don’t we bring something from another culture here?” he said in a 2016 interview with the Mercury News.

The popular original flavors — including Nutella & Chill, Strawberry Fantasy, Gotcha Matcha — will be served at this new location, along with some new ones and seasonal favorites (Pumpkin Ain’t Easy, with pumpkin and graham crackers). Or you can create your own.

The Berkeley shop, like the others, will be open daily from noon to 10 p.m. (11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday).
